I think it was easier to nuke the Japanese as they had attacked the USA directly at Pearl Harbour as opposed to Germany which became an enemy as Japans ally
I totally agree with the remarks made about the potential loss of lives without the nukes
The Japanese cult of the Emperor mentality would have caused countless more deaths
Look at how many lives were lost taking Iwo Jima and other islands
Japan consists of literally thousands of islands, the war could have dragged on for years
